wrote Speculation: ReichOS
a couple of months ago. Other than being a cute piece of metafiction, the story
makes some very important points about the nature of technology by considering what

IBM knew would be used to track Jews sent to the concentration camps. There's very little any of us can
dream up, no matter how awful, that history hasn't already thought of, it
seems.
